Question
- Question 1 In 20x0, Chitchat Ltd issued 1M shares @2/- per share. In 20x2 it issued a fully subscribed and paid 1-for-1 rights issue @$3/- per share. In 20x3, it splitthe outstanding shares into 2-for-1 shares. What is the share capital and number of shares issued after the share split? Choose one of the following answers.
8M shares & $4.5M in share capital
4M shares & $9M in share capital
8M shares & $9M in share capital
8M shares & $8M in share capital
Solution
To answer this question, we need to follow the events year by year:
-
In 20x0, Chitchat Ltd issued 1M shares @1M and the number of shares is 1M.
-
In 20x1, it sold 1M shares @2M to $3M and the number of shares increases by 1M to 2M.
-
In 20x2, it issued a fully subscribed and paid 1-for-1 rights issue @3M to $6M.
-
In 20x3, it split the outstanding shares into 2-for-1 shares. This means every share is split into two shares, doubling the number of shares to 8M. However, a share split does not affect the share capital, so it remains at $6M.
Therefore, the correct answer is not listed among the options. After the share split, the share capital should be $6M and the number of shares should be 8M.
